Description

Valve balloon aspiration catheter Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a medical device, in particular to a valve balloon aspiration catheter. Background Art

[0002] Heart valves are an important component of the human heart. They are located between the four chambers of the heart and the large blood vessels, and play a key role in controlling the direction of blood flow. If there is a problem with the heart valve, such as stenosis, incomplete closure or damage, it will directly affect the normal function of the heart, and may cause blood flow obstruction, blood backflow or excessive heart load. Severe heart valve disease may cause heart failure, arrhythmia and even be life-threatening. Maintaining the health of the heart valves is crucial to maintaining normal blood flow in the heart. Among them, the aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta, in a central position. The aortic valve is closely related to each heart chamber and valve.

[0003] A cardiac balloon, also known as transperitoneal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), is inserted into a narrowed or blocked coronary artery through a catheter and then inflated to open the blood vessel wall inside the artery and restore blood flow.

[0004] Valvular balloon angioplasty only increases blood flow and has a high rate of restenosis, but it doesn't effectively correct cardiac hemodynamics. Therefore, our research aims to rapidly and reliably rest the heart while improving blood circulation, thereby more effectively enhancing treatment outcomes.

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] In the present invention, the distal end refers to the end away from the surgical operator; the proximal end refers to the end close to the surgical operator.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 to 6, Example 1 of the present invention discloses a valve balloon aspiration catheter, which includes, from distal end to proximal end, a tip 1, a balloon 2, a catheter 3, and a handle seat 4, wherein:

[0043] The catheter 3 is provided with a liquid passage cavity 31, and the proximal end of the catheter 3 is connected and fixed to the distal end of the handle base 4;

[0044] The balloon 2 is composed of eight balloon bodies 22, which are distributed around the catheter 3 to form a ring to form a blood flow channel 21 in the center of the balloon 2. The overall shape of the balloon 2 is olive-shaped, and the blood flow channel 21 is arranged along the axial direction of the balloon 2. The blood flow channel 21 can treat heart valve calcification while retaining a certain amount of cardiac output when the balloon is expanded, avoiding complete blockage of the blood flow channel, thereby reducing the impact of balloon dilatation on hemodynamics and reducing the incidence of blood circulation failure. Support rods 23 are respectively provided at the proximal and distal ends of the balloon body 22. The support rod 23 at the proximal end is connected to the distal end of the catheter 3. A support rod through cavity 231 is provided in the proximal support rod 23, which is connected to the balloon cavity of the balloon body 22. The proximal end of the support rod through cavity 231 is connected to the distal end of the liquid through cavity 31. When liquid is passed into the liquid through cavity 31, the eight balloon bodies 22 are filled.

[0045] A micro axial flow pump 5 is provided in the blood flow channel 21, and the micro axial flow pump 5 is arranged on the catheter 3. A guide wire catheter 7 is provided in the micro axial flow pump 5 and passes through the interior thereof. The distal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the blood flow channel 21 and is connected and fixed with the tip 1. The proximal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the handle seat 4. The guide wire catheter 7 has a guide wire cavity 71. The micro axial flow pump 5 is connected to the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 arranged on the proximal end of the handle seat 4. The proximal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 and forms an entrance with the proximal end of the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8, so as to guide the blood to flow smoothly into the aorta while the balloon is expanding.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2, the micro axial flow pump 5 includes at least an elastic spring-shaped impeller shaft 51 and an impeller 6. A through cavity is provided in the catheter 3 for the impeller shaft 51 to pass through. The distal end of the impeller shaft 51 extends from the distal end of the catheter 3. The proximal end of the impeller shaft 51 is inserted into the handle seat 4 and connected to the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8. The impeller 6 is arranged on the distal end of the impeller shaft 51. A through cavity is provided in the impeller shaft 51, and the guidewire catheter 7 passes through the through cavity.

[0047] The outer diameter of the guidewire catheter 7 is smaller than the diameter of the through cavity of the impeller shaft 5 to ensure that the rotation of the impeller shaft 51 will not drive the guidewire catheter 7 to rotate together.

[0048] In the present invention, the impeller drive interface 8 includes a rotating drive component and a non-rotatable fixed component. This is the prior art and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the guide wire catheter 7 is driven from the center of the impeller body 8 through the rotating drive component and is fixed to the proximal end of the fixed component to ensure that the guide wire catheter 7 will not rotate together with the rotating drive component when the rotating drive component rotates. The proximal end of the impeller shaft 51 is connected to the rotating drive component to achieve rotation.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2, the impeller 6 is arranged at the proximal center of the bleeding channel 21, and an impeller protective cover 61 is provided outside the impeller 6 to prevent the impeller 6 from damaging the balloon during operation. The proximal end of the impeller protective cover 61 is connected and fixed to the distal end of the catheter 3, and a protective cover through hole 611 is provided at the proximal end of the impeller protective cover 61 to guide blood to flow smoothly into the aorta.

[0050] As shown in FIG2 , the impeller protective cover 61 includes an outer ring 612 surrounding the periphery of the impeller 6 and a conical surface 613 provided at the proximal end of the outer ring 612 . The protective cover through hole 611 is provided on the conical surface 613 so that the blood flow can be smoothly guided.

[0051] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the tip 1 has a through cavity, and the lumen of the guidewire catheter 7 is connected to the through cavity of the tip 1. The tip 1 is composed of a cone and a cylinder. The cylinder is connected and fixed to the distal end of the catheter 3, and the cone is arranged at the distal end of the cylinder.

[0052] As shown in Figures 6 to 8, the handle base 4 includes a liquid interface 41, and a channel connected to the liquid interface 41 is provided in the handle base 4; a through hole 42 is provided on the axis of the handle base 4, which passes through the proximal end and the distal end of the handle base 4, and the proximal end of the catheter 3 is inserted into the through hole 42 from the distal end of the handle base 4. The proximal end of the catheter 3 is sealed and connected to the through hole 42, the liquid cavity 31 is connected to the through cavity of the liquid interface 41, the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 is arranged on the proximal end of the through hole 42, the impeller shaft 51 is connected to the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 through the through hole 42, and the proximal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 and extends from the proximal end of the handle base 4.

[0053] As shown in Figure 6, the through hole 42 is composed of multiple holes with different diameters, including, from the distal end to the proximal end, a first through hole 421 that is adapted to the outer diameter of the catheter 3, a second through hole 422 that is adapted to the outer diameter of the impeller shaft 51, and a third through hole 423 that is adapted to the external dimensions of the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8.

[0054] In the present invention, the balloon body 22 and the support rod 23 are an integral structure.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 2 , the balloon body 22 includes a cylindrical body 221 disposed in the middle and conical bodies 222 disposed at the proximal and distal ends of the cylindrical body 221 , respectively.

[0056] As shown in Figure 3, the distal end of the catheter 3 is sealedly connected to the proximal end of the support rod 23 at the proximal end; specifically, the catheter 3 is composed of an outer tube 32 and an inner tube 33, the outer tube 32 and the inner tube 33 are coaxial, the outer diameter of the inner tube 33 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer tube 32, and a liquid cavity 31 is formed between the outer tube 32 and the inner tube 33, and the impeller shaft 51 passes through the inner tube 33; of course, it is also possible to set liquid cavities 31 in the tube wall of the catheter 3 with the same number as the balloon body 22, the proximal end of the outer tube 32 is bonded and fixed to the distal end of the through hole 42, and the proximal ends of the outer tube 32 and the inner tube 33 are sealed.

[0057] During use, the device is placed at the active aortic valve. After the fluid is introduced, the balloon is inflated, dilating the aortic valve. An external driver then drives the internal impeller to draw blood from the left ventricle through the catheter inlet and pump it into the aorta. Because the heart is not in an ischemic state during the procedure, surgical safety is improved. This process allows the heart to rest while maintaining blood circulation, effectively reducing the heart's workload. It is suitable for the treatment of critical cardiovascular diseases and can also serve as a preliminary treatment for other surgeries. For example, patients awaiting heart transplantation can use this product to maintain normal heart activity.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Example 2 discloses a valve balloon aspiration catheter with a shock wave generator, the structure of which is basically the same as that of Example 1. The structure of Example 2 is described in detail below.

[0060] As shown in Figures 9, 10, 12 to 14, the present invention discloses a valve expansion shock wave aspiration catheter, which includes, from distal end to proximal end, a tip 1, a balloon 2, a catheter 3, and a handle seat 4, wherein:

[0061] The catheter 3 is provided with a liquid passage cavity 31, and the proximal end of the catheter 3 is connected and fixed to the distal end of the handle base 4;

[0062] The balloon 2 is composed of eight balloon bodies 22, which are distributed around the catheter 3 to form a ring to form a blood flow channel 21 in the center of the balloon 2. The overall shape of the balloon 2 is olive-shaped, and the blood flow channel 21 is arranged along the axial direction of the balloon 2. The blood flow channel 21 can achieve the treatment of heart valve calcification while retaining a certain amount of cardiac output during balloon expansion, avoiding complete blockage of the blood flow channel, thereby reducing the impact of balloon dilatation on hemodynamics and reducing the incidence of blood circulation failure. Support rods 23 are respectively provided at the proximal and distal ends of the balloon body 22. The distal end of the guidewire catheter 7 extends from the distal end of the impeller shaft 5 through the blood flow channel 21 and is connected and fixed to the tip 1 and the distal support rod 23. The support rod 23 at the proximal end is connected to the distal end of the catheter 3. The ends are connected, a support rod through cavity 231 is provided in the proximal support rod 23, and in the balloon body 22, at least a pair of symmetrically arranged balloon cavities 22 are provided with elastic liquid-passing conduits 24, and the distal ends of the liquid-passing conduits 24 are closed surfaces, which are fixedly connected to the distal ends of the balloon cavities 22, and the proximal ends of the liquid-passing conduits 24 are communicated with and sealed from the support rod through cavity 241 to prevent liquid from directly entering the balloon body 22 from the support rod through cavity 231, and a through hole 241 is provided on the liquid-passing conduit 24 to allow liquid to enter the balloon body 22 from the through hole 241 through the support rod through cavity 231 and the liquid-passing conduit 24, thereby filling or contracting the balloon body 22; a shock wave generator 9 is provided on the liquid-passing conduit 24, and the emission direction of the shock wave generator 9 is toward the periphery of the balloon 2;

[0063] A micro axial flow pump 5 is provided in the blood flow channel 21, and the micro axial flow pump 5 is arranged on the catheter 3. A guide wire catheter 7 is provided in the micro axial flow pump 5 and passes through the interior thereof. The distal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the blood flow channel 21 and is connected and fixed with the tip 1. The proximal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the handle seat 4. The guide wire catheter 7 has a guide wire cavity 71. The micro axial flow pump 5 is connected to the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 arranged on the proximal end of the handle seat 4. The proximal end of the guide wire catheter 7 passes through the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8 and forms an entrance with the proximal end of the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8, so as to guide the blood to flow smoothly into the aorta while the balloon is expanding.

[0064] As shown in Figure 10, the micro axial flow pump 5 includes at least an elastic spring-shaped impeller shaft 51 and an impeller 6. A through cavity is provided in the catheter 3 for the impeller shaft 51 to pass through. The distal end of the impeller shaft 51 extends from the distal end of the catheter 3. The proximal end of the impeller shaft 51 is inserted into the handle seat 4 and connected to the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8. The impeller 6 is arranged on the distal end of the impeller shaft 51. A through cavity is provided in the impeller shaft 51, and the guidewire catheter 7 passes through the through cavity.

[0065] The outer diameter of the guidewire catheter 7 is smaller than the diameter of the through cavity of the impeller shaft 51 to ensure that the rotation of the impeller shaft 51 will not drive the guidewire catheter 7 to rotate together.

[0066] In the present invention, the impeller drive interface 8 includes a rotating drive component and a non-rotatable fixed component. This is the prior art and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the guide wire catheter 7 is driven from the center of the impeller body 8 through the rotating drive component and is fixed to the proximal end of the fixed component to ensure that the guide wire catheter 7 will not rotate together with the rotating drive component when the rotating drive component rotates. The proximal end of the impeller shaft 51 is connected to the rotating drive component to achieve rotation.

[0067] As shown in Figure 10, the impeller 6 is arranged at the proximal center of the bleeding channel 21, and an impeller protective cover 61 is provided outside the impeller 6 to prevent the impeller 6 from damaging the balloon during operation. The impeller protective cover 61 is an olive-shaped structure with diameters at both ends smaller than the middle diameter. The proximal end of the impeller protective cover 61 is connected and fixed to the distal end of the catheter 3, and a protective cover through hole 611 is provided at the proximal end of the impeller protective cover 61 to guide blood to flow smoothly into the aorta.

[0068] As shown in FIG10 , the impeller protective cover 61 includes an outer wall 612 surrounding the periphery of the impeller 6 and a tapered surface 613 provided at the proximal end of the outer wall 612 . The protective cover through hole 611 is provided on the tapered surface 613 so that the blood flow can be smoothly guided.

[0069] As shown in Figure 10, the outer wall 612 of the impeller guard 61 is an arc-shaped transition surface or a triangular transition surface, so that when the balloon is not expanded, this part will not scrape the blood vessel or catheter when entering because the distal edge of the impeller guard 61 causes the proximal support rod 23 to fold too much, thereby ensuring smooth passage.

[0070] However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The impeller 6 may also be disposed in the middle of the balloon 2 , with the outer wall of the impeller protective cover 61 connected to the balloon body 21 , and the distal end of the impeller shaft 51 extending out of the catheter 3 .

[0073] As shown in Figure 14, the through hole 42 is composed of multiple holes with different diameters, including, from the distal end to the proximal end, a first through hole 421 that is adapted to the outer diameter of the catheter 3, a second through hole 422 that is adapted to the outer diameter of the spring impeller shaft 5, and a third through hole 423 that is adapted to the external dimensions of the impeller extracorporeal drive interface 8.

[0074] In the present invention, the balloon body 22 and the support rod are an integrated structure.

[0075] As shown in FIG10 , the balloon body 22 includes a cylindrical body 221 disposed in the middle and a conical body 222 disposed at the proximal end and the distal end of the cylindrical body 221 .

The shock wave generator 9 is electrically connected to the power connector 43 through a wire 10. The wire 10 is coated with an insulating layer. The wire 10 can extend along the wall of the catheter 3 toward the proximal end of the handle seat 4 and extend to be electrically connected to the power connector 43. A copper exposed area is provided on the wire 10, and the metal sleeve 93 is sleeved on the wire. The exposed copper area is pressed and fixed; at least one shock wave emitting hole 911 is provided on the electrode ring 91, and the shock wave emitting hole 911 faces the outer periphery of the balloon 2, and the exposed copper area of ​​the wire is opposite to the shock wave emitting hole 911. An exposed hole 921 for partially exposing the metal sleeve 93 is provided at the position where the insulating sleeve 92 is located at the shock wave emitting hole 911. The electrode ring 91, the insulating sleeve 92, and the metal sleeve 93 are filled with insulating glue 94 and glued and fixed to the outside of the liquid conduit 24, thereby strengthening the outward emission of this part of the structure and the shock wave generator.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 11 , the shock wave generator 9 is disposed at the center of the balloon body 22 .

[0078] As shown in Figures 17 and 18, the electrode ring 91 of each shock wave generator 9 is composed of two symmetrically arranged ring bodies 912, and a connecting portion 913 is provided between the two ring bodies 912.

The connecting lead 103 can be set close to the outer wall of the guidewire catheter 7 and fixed by glue.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 , each liquid conduit 24 is provided with two through holes 241 .

[0082] As shown in Figure 11, the distal end of the catheter 3 is sealedly connected to the proximal end of the support rod 23 at the proximal end; specifically, the catheter 3 is composed of an outer tube 32 and an inner tube 33, the outer tube 32 and the inner tube 33 are coaxial, the outer diameter of the inner tube 33 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer tube 32, and a liquid cavity 31 is formed between the outer tube 32 and the inner tube 33, and the impeller shaft 51 passes through the inner tube 33; of course, it is also possible to set liquid cavities 31 in the tube wall of the catheter 3 with the same number as the balloon body 22, the proximal end of the outer tube 32 is bonded and fixed to the distal end of the through hole 42, and the proximal ends of the outer tube 32 and the inner tube 33 are sealed.

[0083] When in use, the present invention is placed at the position of the active aortic valve, and after the liquid is introduced, the balloon body is filled, and after the aortic valve is expanded, the built-in impeller is driven by an external driver to extract the blood from the left ventricle through the catheter inlet and pump it into the aorta. At this time, the shock wave energy at the working section of the balloon acts on the tricuspid valve close to the balloon wall, and the treatment is completed after multiple cycles of pulse release. Since the heart is not in an ischemic state during the operation, the safety of the operation is improved. Through this process, the heart can be rested while maintaining the blood circulation of the heart, and the heart load is effectively reduced. It is suitable for the treatment of critical cardiovascular diseases, and can also be used as a preliminary treatment for other operations. For example, patients waiting for heart transplantation can first use this product to maintain the normal activity of the heart; and the shock wave treatment can effectively alleviate the patient's calcified tricuspid valve biomorphology, rather than using an artificial valve to replace the original biological valve.

[0084] In Example 2, balloon dilatation is combined with mechanical circulatory assistance. While the balloon widens the blood circulation path, the impeller assists in replacing part of the heart valve function, and the oxygenated blood in the left ventricle is drawn out through the catheter inlet and then directly pumped into the ascending aorta, establishing a drainage pathway from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta, thereby realizing blood circulation in the heart. Since the heart will not be in an ischemic state, the safety of the operation is improved. This process allows the heart to be in a resting state, which is convenient for subsequent recovery and treatment. At the same time, the shock wave energy is used to break up the calcification of the tricuspid valve, thereby restoring the biological morphology of the tricuspid valve and solving the problem of valve leakage pressure without using an artificial valve to replace the patient's original biological valve.
